She's lookin goooood!

OK, I'm not the best painter in the world, but I call this a Jamaican style paint job.  Picture a fisherman on the beach painting his boat.  If he doesn't fish his family doesn't eat.  So he paints the boat and doesn't worry too much about the perfect fairing job.  That's my boat.  Even so, I am very happy with the final results.  The boat looks pretty sharp.  And thanks to my buddy, Tim the Carpenter, the line between the hull and deck actually looks good (it looked pretty bad till he fixed it).


This shows the hull after three coats of Orcas White over the primer coats.


After painting we flipped the hull onto the trailer.


Lat night I took her outside for the first time to check the fit of the mast - perfect.


She looks good from the side too.


Did I mention the amas are done!  The deck hardware and hatches are installed and they are ready for the water.



I installed the deck hatches last night.  The next step is all the deck hardware and rigging.
